Love and Mercy - Brian Wilson

beautiful song.

[@StemteacherMsB]

Just seen the movie and no idea the Beach Boys story was so intense. I have a new respect for this talented man.

[@weston407]

Nick Nolte no, you never really learned anything about his brothers, and i don't think Al Jardine said a single word the entire movie - Mike had a pretty big role though

[@weston407]

Nick Nolte it's a really good story about someone incredibly creative and gifted but is surrounded by people who absolutely cannot see what he's trying to do cuz they're so musically small-minded

Brian is so sweet and pure of heart despite all his years of mental illness, bad medications, manipulating managers, showbiz pressure, money and fans - and still his message of love and mercy is the most powerful thing I have heard since John Lennon. "I was sittin' in a crummy movie with my hands on my chin, Oh the violence that occurs seems like we never win." America has become the Walmart of real, exported and simulated violence. We have killed our own souls and don't even know it. What a mean, mean world we have created - and seem to have NO CLUE what has happened.

[@michaelh2935]

jsmcguireIII I had the same thoughts going through my head last night walking home from a late screening of Love & Mercy. The song & it's message is all the more poignant in the context of Wilson's life & it gives me great optimism and happiness to know he survived all of that turmoil with this message intact.

[@lolabeaz]

jsmcguireIII not just America, Man :-(

[@julie11307]

+jsmcguireIII Listening to this song while reading about the Syrian toddler washed up on shore in Turkey. Makes me sad. Then I see your comment. It's good that there are other people out there that have heart enough to care about others in the world. Brian cares. This song proves it.

[@jsmcguireIII]

Julie Anne If you have children then you know. People have to learn to hate and not care. We aren't born that way. "And you of the tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by, And so please help them with your youth, they seek the truth before they can die." Teach your children well!

[@futuropasado]

+jsmcguireIII amen to that...

[@PR46797]

When all is said and done, Brian Wilson will be regarded as a composer and writer on a scale with Aaron Copland, Duke Ellington and George Gershwin. One of the greatest American musicians ever in any genre.

I just saw the movie last night and have to say I am looking at Brian Wilson and the Beach boys with new eyes. I,too never realized his story was so deep. What a perfect title and song this is for the movie too. Love how he played it at the end of the movie too. I have always been a Beach boys fan.Saw them twice (once with the band Chicago ) years ago.Shine on Brian!

God bless that man.

[@KingElvis15]

Saw "Love and Mercy" today and although I remember some of the back story to the movie, I was not aware just how bad it was. For Brian to still be able to make his music, his way is just incredible.

[@somedude5817]

To be fair, there was a lot of overdramaticizing to make an interesting story

[@craigmitchell5501]

I respectfully disagree, brian went thru some serious shit, eugene landy was the devil, to finally get sober after a decade of decline would have been traumatizing to someone as sensitive as brian, and then to be had by a svengali shiester, evil,a manipulitive guy like that, who was over medicating him in a very, very real way, and keeping him away from his family who wouldnt have allowed such malpractice, and to put his names on brians songs, that movie was amazing, its impossible to overstate what a piece of shit eugene landy was--u should check out a book called " catch a wave:the rise, fall, and redemption of brian wilson" by peter ai es carlin

The movie Love and Mercy brought me here

[@thomaspick4123]

Sean Bailey that was a well done movie about Brian. There was a well done movie about The Beach Boys about 25 years ago. Murray is played by an actor named Dunn? He does a great portrayal. Check it out, you will enjoy it. There are documentaries on the group which are ok, but “The Beach Boys- an American Family”. I think that is the name of the movie with actors I enjoyed.

[@Mikey77B]

[@davidcopson5800]

@Sean Bailey: that's a good enough reason. The film was pretty good. Hope you get into Brian's music even more now.

[@SeahorsesJay]

I mean, it's good that the movie has exposed you to his music but nobody really cares that it brought you here unless you're going to expand on your comment by discussing the actual song and what or what it doesn't mean to you now that you've discovered it, otherwise you're basically just neglecting the artist's work by specifying that you're only here because of a movie you saw.

Bernie Woods Do you know that a studio band in LA did music for the the band called The Wrecking crew ?

[@ms8596]

Yes. Brian used the Wrecking Crew in the studio while the rest of the band was on tour. It's well chronicled. It's been well chronicled for ages. If there is an insinuation that it all was phony, the band (except Mike Love who couldn't play any instruments and is a nasaly singer) IS playing instruments on all of their early records, plus many of the songs on Pet Sounds and SMiLE, along with the Wrecking Crew. After Brian went into seclusion, and they moved the studio into his house, then bought Brother Studios, the individual Beach Boys resumed playing the bulk of the instruments.
